Thanks Norman, I managed a few hours today. First of all I welded the table support onto the base after carefully winding the table up against the spindle to get it square. Then I farted about with the clamp handles as two of them needed swapping over and one was way too long and either banged into the table at (12 o'clock) or the worktop (at 6 o'clock). Well here it is assembled so far - But theres still loads to do.I really need to address the main clamping assembly as the larger thread (to adjust tilt) has been cut crooked. Also the indicator for the angle of tilt is not dialled in properly and rocks around. I asked my neighbour to cut off a nice piece of wood and plane it down for a base, then I can start thinking about fitting the motor. Another gratutitous picture - Not my paintjob! Nick |

Evening, A quick update. I needed to make a big nob to lock down the tool holders. Luckily I had a piece of knurled ali which was approximately the right dimensions but was drilled out slightly larger than the thread I needed. In the end I made a core for it from steel and knocked it in with a hammer. It was then drilled and threaded - Fitted - You can see the intended base for the tool. My neighbour made a terrific job of planing down and then staining a nice piece of driftwood - he reckons its some kind of hard wood from South Africa. Coming together... Nick |
